You're going to laugh and sneer, but I just remembered how much my father, who died in 1983, loved the Bar'. He would sing "This One's For You" full voice along with the car radio and my siblings and I knew that he was singing for his mother, who died when he was in his early 20's off fighting the stupid Korean War. He would get all teary-eyed and we'd get lumps in our throats. So in honor of my dad, I downloaded "Even Now" and sing it full voice in the car, thinking of... MORE

This one happened fifteen or more years ago - more like twenty, come to think. Anyway, guy was coming down Monteagle Mountain on I-24 between Nashville and Chattanooga (heading toward Chattanooga, which is the worse grade and curves). You may have heard of Monteagle - Cash recorded a song about it, and Jerry Reed mentions it in the theme song for Smokey and the Bandit; several miles of 7% grades and not-straight road. With signs every so often to remind you that there... MORE

NEW YORK - Barry Manilow became one of the world’s best-selling artists by making timeless classics out of unknown songs. But these days, he’s more likely to rely on other people’s classics than interpret new material. And he’s not alone. From Rod Stewart to Aaron Neville to Art Garfunkel — who this month is releasing an album of Rodgers & Hammerstein standards — veteran singers are increasingly turning to cover albums or other gimmicks in order to find chart success in ...

Man... do you ever feel like a dick because you don't have enough time to post on all of your Trusteds' threads?
I've started to feel that way. I think I need a MOG manager. Someone to tell me where and when to post... How to use the new MOG technological installations/updates... Which music recommendations in the MOGOS I really need to check out, etc.
You... complete me

First it was CBGB's, then Glam Slam and now the Copacabana. They say deaths happen in three's, so this is just another one into the body bag. The historic Copacabana club in New York is closing it doors. Not because of financial problems, but because the building was condemed to make room for another subway line. The club is where Frank Sinatra got his start in the 40's and was thrust into the spot light again in the 70's by a Barry Manilow song of the same name. The owner... MORE

I went to go see Barry Manilow last night. There was a "Friends and Family" show at the Forum and somehow six of my nearest and dearest thought it would be a good idea. 3000 Fanilows in a place that would hold 19,000 and it was pretty surreal. I like to rock. There was no rocking when Barry took the stage clutching his Emmy and in a wheelchair. It was all shtick and cheesy with glittery costumes and wardrobe changes for his middle aged back-up singers. His band is hug... MORE

Ok.. I like pop music a lot. I like rock music a lot. But here's the question. I don't really listen to the radio much and definitely don't watch MTV or VH1 (even when they are playing videos!!).... so how do record labels and artists influence me? I guess mostly word of mouth. Places like Mog-ville are gonna get me in trouble with the old credit card on iTunes... Every mog I visit, I see something I don't recognize. Therefore I have to listen. The same with Billb... MORE

Australians upset over loud Manilow music 07/17/2006 2:36 PM, AP It could be magic for some, but the use of loud Barry Manilow music to drive away late-night revelers from a suburban Sydney park is getting on the nerves of nearby residents. In a move reminiscent of U.S. efforts to drive former Panama strongman Manuel Noriega from the Vatican Embassy where he took refuge in 1989, the local council in Rockdale, in Sydney's southern suburbs, started a six-month tria...
